Michele: Okay, episode 10 is here, and it was that hard to write. Not my fault I do not know anything about Pokèmon.
Alex: Huh. Really unusual for you, Michele.
Ayumi: It'll wrap our adventure there!
Wing: Do you really think so? *looking suspicious*
Michele: Of course! What makes you think not?
Yuyimoko: And there is a new feature in this chapter, later...
Akamatsu: Anyway, let this chapter begin!
Episode 10: Booming Troubles in Kanto!
Previously, we had to train. But Joseph was a bit reckless this time, so we lost a day, remaining with just dinner. The next day, we went to watch all the Kanto championship, hoping that, whenever Red wins or not, we would ask him to come over to a place, which was supposed to be our mansion. But then, a loud boom came...
We looked over the source, as loud sounds keep coming over and over. Not that we can't detect the sound, it just sounds so mysterious. The announcer didn't even plan this, I thought. What could have caused this? Unless...
"Not you again, Ancient Minister!" I shouted. Ayumi and everyone looked at me. I just knew this would be likely, when finally a soft voice came.
"Well done. I see you're pretty impressive, Michele." A voice came from the airship. Ancient Minister and Wing jumped down, but they have already prepared the surprise- a Charizard! And by the looks of it, it should be a shiny one!
"How did you get that shiny Charizard?! There is absolutely-"
"Oh, of course there is. But you will have to convince Noah to do it." Wing snarled at Ayumi.
"Convince Noah... wait a minute... Not you too, asking Noah to cheat to defeat us!" Cody clenched his teeth.
"Oh, really? We'll see then. Charizard, attack!"
"RED!" Joseph shouted at the Pokèmon trainer. "Just ESCAPE and if someone tries to stop you, defeat him quickly! We'll handle this on our own!"
Me, Alex, Ayumi, Cody, Joseph, Yuyimoko VS Shiny Charizard
GO!
Ayumi quickly scanned it.
Shiny Charizard. HP is 5.2k, ATK is 120, DEF is 130 and SPD is 110. He has been hacked in a way that can use 6 moves and without limitation: Flamethrower that is pretty selfexplainatory, Firecharge which is a combination of Fire + Charge and may cause Burn, Iron Tempest which greatly boosts ATK, Big Chomp which causes DEF-piercing damage and may cause DEF down, Body Spin which may cause Stun and heavy damage, and finally Ember, which launches a fireball that can have high chances to cause Sweating, which slows your movement and action speed, though not as much as Slow. At least, luckily he doesn't have Mystique Skill...
And that is Noah. The one behind all of this hacking. His level is 16. His HP is 475, EP is 35, ATK is 53, DEF is 47, SPD is 41. He only has two new skills at the moment: CheatCode; Flames, which creates a fire in the field of 4x4 with 100% Burn and CheatCode; Stat Risk, which may either cause all his stats to raise greatly by around 50%... or decrease them by half! Usually he is the one trying to risk with his skills. He also has a Mystique Skill... CheatCode: HP1, and you will have to pray, because it may either drop you all allies's HP to 1, or him and ShinyCharizard to 1! If it does hit you, I hope you're ready for your Cura skill...
Ayumi gulped greatly at Noah's mystique skill. She would have to go through charging this skill before he uses this, so that if his allies are affected, she could use this instantly before the enemies hits the affected ally.
"You've gotta be kidding me!" Joseph shouted at Noah's skills. But there was one suspicious thing that I realized.
Why has his stats been lowered?
"No, I am not kidding," he stated calmly.
"We've gotta defeat Noah first!" I charged toward him, but Shiny Charizard retaliated with his Flamethrower, and it was so hot.
"Tch, you're so darn challenging. Let's see if you can solo me!"
While Joseph tried to restrain Shiny Charizard alone... of course he is not a tanker for nothing. Anyways, we changed our focus to Noah, who made his frustrated face. Unfortunately, his luck was in his favor as he tried CheatCode; Stat Risk and got his stat to boost greatly. In fact, when he used Shower Arrows, we barely made it out. Alex and Cody, however, wasn't lucky. Ayumi had to use Cure two times for them.
"Alex, Cody! Try to focus on Noah and where is he aiming! It may give you a clue on where and who is he attacking!" Yuyimoko suggested. Cody tried to take his advice and had fixed his eyes on him while he used Thousand Piercing Arrows. Fortunately, he and Alex managed to predict this attack just in time and jumped out of the way.
"Thanks, Yuyi. We'll remember this suggestion, if it helps me take less damage," Cody grinned sheepishly, and Yuyimoko winked at this.
"Baby Dragon Card!" He transformed into a baby dragon and spat fireball at Noah, who winced greatly at this. His HP was already reduced to almost the half.
"Tch... Overlimit!" His orange aura appeared and caused a little of a shockwave. He quickly dashed through us and... quietly casted Shower Arrows, which caused a lot of arrows to strike us. It was now more painful than it was earlier.
"Owwiee!"
"Pain, pain...!"
"Ugh!"
"AAHHIIAAIIAAIIIA!"
"Rrggh, my body is...!"
"Why...?!"
The arrows has already weakened us a lot to the point where we are now coughing and hacking a lot. Our health is at the critical condition and if we don't get Ayumi to heal soon, we will be already beat up! Fortunately, she has saved enough EP...
"Cura!"
In a instant, we sat up again.
"Noah, how dare you cheat on us like this?!" Joseph gritted his teeth at this.
"Noah, please listen to us! You're being used-"
"Used? I am not used, Yuyi!" The blonde man was shocked that Noah could know his name. But how? "And for the information about how I got to know your name, I spied on you for all the time! You just never knew cause of my skills!"
"Noah... why have you became corrupted like this...? I thought... you were my best friend, but in the end you betrayed us...?! Even Ayumi still feels sign of remorse in herself because you sided with Wing! You can't just side on them without a vaild reason!" Cody tried to plead, but it was no avaliable as Noah had something to say.
"Silence! I do not want to hear anymore of your pleads! I do have a vaild reason, but you keep going in the way of Ancient Minister's plan! I shall defeat all of you guys!" He created a aura that we never saw before...
"What is that-"
"Mystique Skill! CheatCode: HP1!" We all frowned and activated our block actions.
"Darn it, he is using his mystique attack!" Joseph clenched his fists as he tried to lift up his hammer.
"Is this game over?" Yuyimoko fretted as he blocked with his own hands his eyes.
"How about you guys shut up and die?!" Noah shouted.
"Argh, this light is so annoying!"
The light slowly began to fade...
...
...
...
We opened our eyes. I thought nothing was happening, unless...
"Look, Noah and his Charizard is very exhausted! Thanks Gods our luck won aganist that mystique skill in our favor!" Ayumi cheered.
Hey, hey, don't forget about one thing! His Mystique Skill only causes up to 9999 damage. So if your enemy has higher than 9999 HP, let's say 20000, then he won't fall down to 1 HP instantly. He/she'll just get 9999 of his/her HP taken away. I doubt you allies would get higher than 9999 HP, Gestruyge advised them.
"Um, okay, thanks..." Ayumi just trailed off...
"Anyways! Let me deal the finishing blow. I mean, shouldn't I be teaching Noah a lession?" Cody just grinned sheepishly as he charged up his staff. His staff started to glow light...
"Elements L3! Judgement!" This allowed the light to appear above Noah and the Shiny Charizard and deal their finishing blow. Noah was finally yelling as the light struggled to knock him out. Everything went white...
Winner: Us
We won!
I pointed my guns at Noah's head.
"I demand to know! Why did you try and conquer this championship?! Are you-"
"No, I'm not in relationship with these Team Rocket, unworthy! I am on Ancient Minister's side. He promised me that if I helped him, then he would bring me back to somewhere. I do not know where that 'somewhere' is, because he said I don't want to know!"
"Somewhere? Why would Ancient Minister bring you to that 'somewhere'?" Cody questioned Noah.
"I do not know for the matter of fact! And before I go..."
"Wait a minute! You can't go anywhere-" Noah shushed Joseph.
"Accept these rewards as my part of apology, and get out of my eyes!" Noah launched a bomb which exploded into smoke... and we coughed, but when the smoke cleared, he wasn't there. Neither was the Shiny Charizard for the matter anyways.
"Damn Noah! But what is that part of 'rewards'?" Yuyimoko asked, looking toward that 'reward' Noah was supposed to give.
I approached that 'rewards'... it revealed a badge line, consisting of two empty badges and a pack containing badges to put in the badge line, especially the two empty badges... But it also contained something that intruged me: a yellow bracelet that I can put around my neck.
"Better bring these to MH... that yellow bracelet, I'll wear it. I think it may have some special powers..." I was intruged and so we were going to leave and return to Smash Mansion, having our duties completed... unill Cody realized something...
"Wait a minute, shouldn't we bring Red and his Pokemons back to our mansion?" We realized this...
"Oh no! Wait up Red, we gotta tell you something real quick!" Joseph tried to run as fast as possible. We just laughed a bit and followed him...

Alright, so to sum it up, we went to Kanto Championship. We were supposed to see a battle between Red and his old rival, I think it was Gary, or was it another trainer? Anyways, when a airship made a explosion, nobody bothered to move or something, and we got suspicious. In the end. Ancient Minister sent Noah and his Charizard... Shiny, I mean, but we managed to defeat them. Maybe this time due to luck. And lemme tell you something...
Badge Menu has been unlocked!
I'll explain this a bit later, but for now...

Alright, we end our way here. I'll explain the badges...
Let me explain this. This badge line has a fillable space that cannot be filled with water or any liquid. This badge line will fill gradually as I attack... not including everyone. If I am more active in battle, this badge line will fill up quickly. On the left is me, and the badge colour is white like my Wii remote. So, only I can fill up the badge meter: if I do, the badge in the left will go right. On the right is another badge, and the colour is black. None of us has the black colour, so what does it means? Anyways, the left is for which of the main effects will happen, and the right is for the power, or variety, of the badge's effect. Here is the example...
[The camera pans to the badge line.]
On the left is one of my three main badge, Cure Badge, which allows us to recover. On the right is the Broken Badge. A bit of an low effect, anyways, but hey, there are three of them too, Plastic and Sturdy Badge. Broken is the most lowest, Sturdy is the highest one. But, I have one thing to note. The lower is the power of the combination of two badges, the faster will the badge line fill up. Viceverse, if it has high power, it will take a while to fill up.
Cure Badge: A popular badge that allows you to heal yourself and your party. Heal yourself with this Cure Badge! Most useful if you're struggling a lot with your battles and need a hand but don't have enough EP!
Cure Badge + Broken Badge
Recovers 20% of your party's HP.
There are more effects, but I'll just list them in another linebreak... Anyways, we have four slots to place the badge we get. If it's full, we will have to make sure to use one soon, because if you get an badge with this badge line while there is no space, the most oldest in the left will be lost.
Cure Badge + Plastic Badge
Recovers 20% of your party's EP.
Cure Badge + Sturdy Badge
Recovers 20% of your party's HP and EP.
Virus Badge: A badge that can spread virus. In other words, it may debuff or cause some strange things to your enemies. Great when your enemy is having too much advantages!
+ Broken Badge
Remove one of your enemies's buff.
+ Plastic Badge
Maybe it can stun all enemies, maybe...
+ Sturdy Badge
Decrease all enemies stats by 25% for a while lot!
Risky Badge: A badge with an exclamation mark. It may cause some unpredicated effects, but it may suddenly bounce on you too! It's risky because it causes stuffs not only to your enemies, but also to your allies, and mostly requires a lot of luck. So beware when using it!
+ Broken Badge
It may dispel and prevent enemies from having buffs, but it may also cause this to you too.
+ Plastic Badge
Either your party will recover ALL of their HP... or they drop to one HP. Very similar to Noah's mystique skill L1, but has a higher chance of success here.
+ Sturdy Badge
Most of the times, this badge will just puff the badge line in clouds and deplete it completely. If success, it will instantly fill completely your badge line.
In other words, a high chance to deplete the badge line, but if success, will instantly fill up the badge line.
These are about all of the badges I got from the badge case. By default, it's equipped Cure Badge + Sturdy Badge, though I may change it from time to time. Anyways, it should be useful in case I get myself in a pinch... so, well, you guys, wish me luck!
